Bought prior to subscription
This used to be the best tracking app around, but now?
way to turn your back on your day one supporters. Nice!
i can’t in good faith recommend this application, unless you enjoy paying a yearly subscription for the rest of your life, just to check a date for your shipments. if idiots would stop subscribing to every little thing, maybe we can bring back how things used to be where you buy them & own them for life, instead of paying yearly for things like a calculator application for goodness sakes. maybe some day!
No FedEx or UPS
Original Buyer. DONT SUPPORT DEV
FIX FedEx and UPS!
Used to be great
Most carriers not supported
Early buyers kicked to the curb in and baited into subscriptions.
When subscriptions dropped they said that previous purchasers could use iCloud for free but would need to subscribe for JuneCloud sync and all other “new” features. I stopped using the JuneCloud sync service and instead used iCloud. After some time, I started seeing a limitation in the number of deliveries I could have in the app (for whatever reason; it’s not like my phone is running out of space. Also I’m using iCloud and not their server). Then I started having issues with the map and the tracking not working; although I could easily click a button to check via the website.
Now when I add a delivery, it says “subscription required”. It’s unfortunate when products you bought—or their functionality—get taken away from you. I have never seen any “new” features added, but ai have seen more and more unfixed issues and less carrier support (USA.) I wounded what subscribers think they are getting because it’s not a good deal.
This was one of the best delivery apps on the iOS App Store and now it’s one of the worst. I don’t know what this Developer thinks the incentive is for renting a subscription. They apparently don’t care about fixing bugs, adding functionality, their customers, or honoring the purchases that were made. What a shame!
Previous purchase not honored
Useless
Out of date app
Previously, many years ago:
This app’s fantastic for the way it nicely organizes your inbound packages by ETA, detects when you have copied a tracking number upon entering the app and shows you the package’s location a world map when the shipping company provides that information. It’s clean and orderly, easy to use and archives your tracked shipments so that you can later go back and find them (think: “did I get that less than a year ago, or is it out of warranty?”)
I’ve used this for years and don’t remember what it cost, but it’s definitely been worth whatever it was. 👍
It’s worth the subscription
This app won awards for a reason. It has by far the best UX and thoughtful features across all the tracking apps.
Hopefully they can find a workaround to FedEx and UPS’ API change, but the current implementation isn’t bad.
Support your indie developers.
The app appears to be conflicted with an older monthly license that is no longer under subscription.
The same thing happened last year during the exact same days of the year.
Back Story:
I originally had a problem when I upgraded to a Mac mini 3-years ago. The Deliveries app would not run on my new Mac. So, I subscribed to a monthly plan, which worked, until the issue with the annual license could be resolved. A few weeks later the annual appeared to be working. So, I never renewed the monthly plan. I believe the licensing system is somehow stuck into thinking that because the monthly plan was canceled, that it should disable the annual license during the same month every year for when the monthly plan was formerly licensed. Also, the app store would not let me subscribe to a monthly license, as I did in the past, because I have an active annual license. Even though the Deliveries app kept prompting be to subscribe when I tried to enter a new tracking number in the app.
I had tried every suggestion that the developer had made, including going directly to Apple Support. But there is apparently no solution to the broken licensing system that, for me, only seems to impact this specific application.
Forced overpriced subscription now
Use to be my favorite app
Deliveries Is Dead
The decline of Deliveries started several years ago for me with issues with Amazon staying signed in. It took long enough to resolve that I just got out of the habit of adding my Amazon deliveries to the app, and at the same time Amazon’s tracking had improved enough that I didn’t want to do all the work of coping them (a dozen orders or more a week).
Then FedEx stopped working in the app. Then UPS. And now USPS parcels don’t work either. Supposedly a subscription will add back USPS tracking, but the utility of an app like this is having everything tracked in one place. Deliveries can’t really do that anymore. It can keep track of tracking numbers. That’s about it for the most common carriers in the US.
I don’t blame the developer. I got more than enough value from my purchase long ago to call it fair and I don’t expect free updates forever in an app that has had to play cat and mouse with various services for years. Really it’s a sign that the web as we once knew it is dead — there are constantly evolving roadblocks to pulling together multiple tracking services that once were provided for free into a useful app. But I am disappointed that Junecloud hasn’t found a way to continue the original functionality in this new landscape.
I would gladly pay $10-20 for another ten years of tracking pretty much any parcel with automatic updates in the app and the privacy of all the updates being done by my own device and synced only over iCloud. That doesn’t exist anymore. It’s definitely not this app anymore, so I’m lowering my rating.
Thanks for what you offered us back in the day, Junecloud. It was great while it lasted.
